Let's go to Montreal! Now that travel is more accessible, a few friends and I had a good opportunity to Travel and Vacation in Montreal. It was just a short trip but great to catch all the sights and more importantly the iconic favorites foods to Montreal.
Chapters:
00:00 - Let's Go To Montreal!
01:30 - Vegan Plant Based Restaurant, Lola Rosa
07:10 - Old Port Montreal
07:50 - Morning Pastries, Rosetti
13:50 - Basilica Notre Dame
15:00 - Legendary Smoked Meat, Schwartz's
20:10 - Endless BBQ Meat, Le Milsa
31:20 - Legendary Poutine, La Banquise
This was my travel experience and it quickly became a vacation Travel Guide of Montreal thanks to all the great finds and discovery from all the friends... Along with the sight seeing of the amazing building, cathedrals and old time European charm; we also got to discover the food finds of Montreal!
A sort of a culinary tour so to speak with tender flavorful Smoked Meat Sandwiches from Schwartz's, luscious pastries around the French city, and of course, the classic poutine! Ah yes, we also made an unexpected visit to a gourmet vegan restaurant! Not knowing what type of restaurant we were walking into, we were sure glad we paid a visit to this plant-based restaurant in downtown Montreal.
Thank you again for joining!

Awesome that you went to Montreal. The food looks amazing, as does the scenery. I've never been to Montreal. My dad's parents & 3 of his older siblings came through Montreal, to get to Alberta, when they came from Eastern Europe, in the early 1900s. My late, maternal grandfather used to live and work in Montreal, after he was working in Chicago, after he came from Poland, in the early 1900s, before he went to Alberta. My roots go through there. I have to go there one day. Cheers, Tim! ✌️🇨🇦

Hi Dwayne, I do hope you get a chance to visit one day. It is a very unique beautiful city and I actually got a chance to visit Quebec City also. (If you do decide to go, be sure not to miss Quebec City). It was such a unique experience and absolutely felt like one was in the heart of Europe (or at least what I imagine what it would be).

I loved Montreal when I visited over 10 years ago. I won the weekend hotel stay at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth at an art auction and it was on a club floor. The club floor meant I had breakfast and evening hor d’oeuvres free which meant I only needed to buy lunch. I was on my own so I had a smoked meat sandwich everyday and the hor d’oeuvres were so plentiful I was too full to have a dinner. I spent all my money on art. Such fun! I tried the casino thing but couldn’t take the smoking. Lol. Glad you had a friend, it makes a difference.❤️

@TimLeeLetsGo 2 жыл бұрын

Oh, we passed by the Fairmont QE a few times! That must have been amazing; I can imagine how good those hor d'oeuvres must have been! (a friend of mine works at that Fairmont here in Vancouver and she did mention that). It's great to travel again and certainly nice to meet up with some friends to explore. Very fun and hope you get a chance to return 🙂

Schwartz's bring back memories for me, especially before the Dion family bought it. Some say the meat quality is not the same as it used to be. There are many other great food places. I used to go to Cosmo's All Day Breakfast. Cosmo died but his son carries on the tradition. The best item was the mish mash, with 12 eggs, peppers, onions, bacon and toast. I knew a McGill student who would order that each Saturday morning, and then have a cheeseburger chaser. The cheeseburger was good because it had meat going outside the bun. He would also have an order of fries, onion rings, two Cokes and a milkshake.

Great show. That smoked meat sandwich looked identical to a Jewish salt beef sandwich, right down to the pickle and mustard. Was it a salt beef sandwich?

You couldn't find a deli in Vancouver? What about Omnitsky's Deli on Oak Street? Or all the wonderful delis on Commercial Drive?

I concur! Try Omnitsky's if you haven't already! Maybe you went when it was Kaplan's?

You want iconic food from Montréal and around it? Go to St Hubert, big chain restaurant that everyone in the region knows and loves but unknown. Outside of french Canada.

Milsa is ok but not fantastic. La Banquise is nearly unbeatable (see later). Same for Schwartz. On your next trip, you have try Blackstrap BBQ who serve award winning Southern Smokehouse grub that'll blow you away. They also have have a Burnt ends poutine, which is poutine with burnt ends and the gravy is made from the smoker's drip pan... It is INSANE. Then a bit off the island is Smoke Meat Pete. Smoked meat like Schwartz but it's kicked up a notch. Then there's Dinette Triple Crown where they serve Kentucky grub, made by a chef from Kentucky. Best fried chicken ever. Best hush puppies ever, best pigtails... Oh and freshly squeezed lemonade per order.

Yeah, I might have overdid it. Our friends came in late that evening and we ended up going to Boustan also... Way too much food but since we weren't there for too long, we certainly took advantage of the time there 🙂

So happy that you came to visit my city!! ❤ Glad you had a great time!! Yes...smoked meat & a poutine are a must to try in Montreal...but you forgot to try our bagels!!! 😋 Two well known establishments are St-Viateur bagel and Fairmount bagel. Maybe next time🤗

Hi Tim, this vegan restaurant looked really good 🤯 !!! I'm not a fan of all this fake meats bc I believe that they (the vegans) wanted to quit meats that's why they are vegan 💯🤷🏼‍♀️! This burger looked stuning, I would love to try it and I'm not a big burger type of person normally! Greetings from Germany 👋❤️

@TimLeeLetsGo 2 жыл бұрын

Warmest greetings from Vancouver 🙂. We were certainly not anticipating to go to a vegan restaurant, but it was very pleasantly surprised. Agreed, it's quite nice when they don't try to pretend to offer any meat alternatives and just prepare the ingredients as they are. Hope you're keeping well in Germany and all the best to you 😃

What size was that Schwartz sandwich? Or is there just one size?

@TimLeeLetsGo 2 жыл бұрын

I think there's only one size to the sandwich. I made sure to ask for the fattier cut of meat though.

Schwartz's at 15:51. When the writer Mordecai Richler's kids were younger, he would bribe them to go fetch him smoked meat sandwiches from Schwartz's. He would call the order ahead and off the kid would go with the cash in a cab. The kid would pay for the order and bring back the same order each time. Mordecai would eat two Montreal Smoked Meat sandwiches, medium fat and an order of kosher dill pickles. The lucky kid who volunteered to picked up the goods got themselves the third smoked meat sandwich, medium fat of course.

Mustard at 19:23. I thought I had seen everything at Schwartz's. Then one day I saw a guy request a bowl of mustard. He proceeded to dunk his entire sandwich in the bowl of mustard.

Tim, I enjoy ALL of your food videos. I am presently recovering from back surgery so for now I'm home bound 24/7 but do enjoy viewing all of you food reviews. One helpful hint might be if you were to mention the cost of your meals that would be helpful. I am a long time subscriber and your channel is the best. Thank You.

@TimLeeLetsGo 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for reaching out and hope your recovering well. Also much appreciate your suggestion. I do try to put the prices in the video, but for this trip I kind of lost track with all the restaurants. This was a fun problem to have 😉

All the food, except for the first one looked delicious. The French cafe was exceptional. Did the Waitress in the Braziliian restaurant really say that you ate a lot and burst out laughing? That's a big no, no for a waitress to behave like that.

@TimLeeLetsGo 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks RiverDanube! I must say that the pastries and coffee were incredible😋. Oh, yeah...I think the comment from Gabriella came out wrong...we were just joking around and I didn't think I captured/edited that moment in the correct context. Really enjoyed Montreal (and Quebec City). It is quite a very unique experience; in a very good way. Thank you again and all the best 😃
